Hazardous waste containers

Hazardous waste containers for liquid storage

Hazardous waste containers are specialized containers designed for the safe storage and transport of liquids that are harmful to humans and the environment. They work well in laboratories, production plants, chemical warehouses, mechanical workshops and wherever used oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, laboratory reagents and other substances requiring special storage conditions are produced.

The most important functions of hazardous waste containers are:

• safe storage of liquids harmful to the environment,
• transport of liquid waste to the disposal site,
• separation of hazardous waste from other fractions,
• Protecting personnel from direct contact with the substance
• preventing leakage and soil contamination in the event of a failure.

DANLAB's offer includes containers from the Polish manufacturer SIPOREX - a proven brand whose solutions meet the requirements for hazardous waste management equipment in industry and laboratories.

Steel structure compliant with waste transport requirements

Containers intended for the collection of hazardous waste must meet specific design requirements. They are made of thick steel sheet, which provides resistance to impacts, pressures and long-term load with aggressive substances. A solid construction determines the service life and directly affects the safety of use.

The design features of the containers available in our offer are:

• reinforced corners and bottom to support the weight of a full container,
• handles and hook points for easy manipulation,
• dimensions adapted to typical industrial pallets,
• durability maintained under full operating conditions.

Proper container design is the foundation of safety – tightness and durability protect personnel, installations and the environment from the effects of a possible failure.

Capacities from 100 to 1000 liters for different needs

The range of hazardous waste containers includes containers of various volumes: from compact 100-liter models designed for smaller laboratories and laboratories, to large 1000-liter containers used in production plants generating significant amounts of liquid waste. Such a wide selection allows you to choose equipment perfectly suited to the volume and specifics of the business.

Available capacity variants and applications:

• compact models of 100 and 240 liters - for smaller rooms,
• medium containers 240-450 liters - universal use,
• large containers of 600 and 1000 liters - for intensive use,
• multi-chamber variants for separate storage,
• aggregate models for collecting waste from multiple sources.

The selection of the appropriate capacity depends on the amount of waste generated, the frequency of collections and the available storage space. If in doubt, our specialists will be happy to advise you on the optimal option for your business.

Galvanized housing resistant to corrosion and aggressive liquids

The protective coating of the container is crucial for its durability in contact with chemical waste. All hazardous waste containers available in our offer have a galvanized casing, which provides long-term protection against corrosion caused by both weather conditions and the direct impact of stored substances.

The benefits of a galvanized housing finish include:

• protection against rust during outdoor storage,
• resistance to splashes and fumes of chemical substances,
• ease of cleaning and disinfection of the outer surface,
• long-term operation without loss of protective values.

Anti-corrosion protection is particularly important where containers are stored in damp rooms, outside buildings or in the immediate vicinity of technological processes emitting chemical fumes.

Modular design for stacking containers

Warehouse space is usually a scarce resource in every plant. For this reason, the containers offered by the SIPOREX brand have been designed based on a modular design - they can be safely stacked on top of each other and use the available vertical space. This solution allows you to significantly increase the efficiency of the waste storage facility.

The benefits of modular design include:

• Space savings by stacking containers,
• stable fastening, preventing containers from moving,
• easy rotation of contents in warehouse management,
• orderly storage, facilitating the labelling of waste,
• efficient use of the vertical space of the warehouse.

Stackable containers remain fully stable and at the same time can be used in any

and use individually.

Transport by pallet truck, forklift and crane

A full container with hazardous waste weighs several hundred kilograms, so  the equipment must work with handling equipment commonly used in industrial plants and warehouse yards.

The methods of transport and handling of containers are:

• moving a pallet truck around the warehouse,
• transport by forklift between storage locations,
• lifting with a crane for loading onto a transport vehicle,
• loading onto trucks and semi-trailers,
• Compatibility with typical industrial pallets.

The mobility of the container is of great importance in situations where hazardous waste has to be handed over to a specialized disposal company. Trouble-free transport means shorter operation times and a lower risk of failure or spillage.

Double chamber containers with integrated sump tray

Among hazardous waste containers, two-chamber models and structures with an integrated spill tray deserve special attention. They combine a waste container and spill protection in one device - in the event of a leak, the leak is stopped in the lower part of the structure, which eliminates the risk of contamination of the substrate.

Advantages of multi-chamber and collective containers:

• two-chamber design - protects against leakage,
• integrated scepter tray – eliminates the need for additional equipment,
• collective variants for the collection of waste from different sites,
• models with different numbers of compartments for separate storage,
• Compliance with chemical storage safety requirements.

All hazardous waste containers available in the DANLAB store are covered by professional advice and full after-sales service. We will help you choose a model tailored to the specifics of your business, the amount of waste generated and the safety requirements applicable in a given industry.
